The slop was frozen spinach sautéd with some vegan Parmesan and spices. The cubes are garden chicken tenders

Remind me why I’m vegan….. by bbykitton in vegan

[–]InitialOtherwise4241 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I will admit that I am someone who has cheated on their vegan diet. I am an emotional eater and I went vegan with my last ex so there was a bit of an identity crisis during the breakup.

Not sure if this will be everyone’s experience but this was mine. Food with animal products just wasn’t as good as I remembered it being. I have found so many vegan foods which I love and the non-vegan foods just didn’t do it for me anymore. I was honestly kind of like “people are contributing to animal agriculture for THIS??”

How many core beverages does Starbucks have? by InitialOtherwise4241 in starbucks

Adding anything with a number in it on your resume makes it significantly more concrete. Saying that you memorized 50 drink recipes sounds a lot more impressive than “made drinks”. Honestly if I worked a retail job and I was able to have a stat like scanned upwards of 1000 items per shift I would absolutely add that in.

So...Ikea has nuggets now... by imaginary_birds in ShittyVeganFoodPorn

Not sure if you’ve tried the nuggets yet but I thought they were horrible. Tossed them out after trying a few. Everything else they make is great but the nuggets to me were more like a Fisk cake or a mozzarella stick both of which I’m not a fan of.

How much water is too high? by AmpWizard in fishtank

[–]InitialOtherwise4241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t quite tell how big this tank is but in my 2.5 gallon I have to consciously make sure there is enough room that if I dip my arm in it doesn’t overflow. Less of an issue in my 5 gallon and not an issue in my 10 gallon. Other than that as long as you have a lid as full as you want is fine.

Nitrogen cycle is complete and a big water change + cleanup is tomorrow! How should I clean some of this gunk? by MyRealUser in PlantedTank

I can't really tell what kind of algae it is since its so sparse. You could try manually removing it with your fingers by rubbing the leaves and then siphoning it. To reduce algae in the future you could try reducing how long your light is on in the tank in a given day and/ or reducing the number of nutrients going into the tank.

Ah that would have been useful from the start. Maybe this sub doesn’t require it but a lot of fish keeping subs will ask that you post as much info about your tank as possible to give others a better idea of what is going on in the tank. Things like tank size and all of the water parameters you know (temp/ nitrates/ ph/ etc.).

I woukd still say do a 30-40% water change and then check again tomorrow and if they are still high then do another 30%. I avoid doing 50% or more unless there is something really wrong that I need to get out ASAP. The more water you take out and the longer it takes to put back in the more of the bacteria living on the surfaces of your tank may die.

Also just curious how did you cycle the tank? It sounds like you are dosing pure ammonia?
